THE BATTALION!
Career Counselors Invaluable Aid
New students who can’t decide
their courses of study are getting
help this summer at A&M.
Career conferences combine
personal inventories, interpreta
tion, reading, interviews and
counseling to give the undeclared
student information on which to
base his decision.
The three-day conference as
sists the student in making a
decision that might normally come
after a year or two of study.
The program conceivably could
save the undecided student a
semester or mo-re study.
It uses a variety of individual
evaluation instruments and data
assembled by Counseling and
Testing Center Director Auston
Kerley and Dr. Arthur Roach,
Educational Psychology Depart
ment head. The career confer
ence brochure is sent only to stu
dents whose applications show
an undecided major.
Five experienced counselors di
rected by Jack Thomas make
evaluations and virtually live
with students through each con
ference. Kerley is responsible for
conference mechanics.
Of 38 participants, only two
have not decided. In both in
stances, choices have been nar
rowed to two alternatives.

(even deposits made after the 10th)
Bryan Building & Loan now pays interest from the
day of deposit. You get the maximum interest per
mitted by law and it begins the day of deposit.
And BB&L’s new on-line computer can tell you
your balance on any savings account (or any loan
account) immediately. Ask any teller. She’ll punch
in your account number and get you a balance in a
moment.
Interest from the day of deposit and instant balance
information are two more reasons to trust your savings
and loan business to the biggest financial institution
in town.
You expect more from BB&L. And you get it. Every
day.

TAMU personnel in the first
time project stress the decision
is the student’s.
A career conference ties in
with the regular new student
summer conference. A student
checks in Sunday for the career
program. It is completed Wed
nesday, so the student can go
straight into the new student
conference that covers all prepa
rations for fall classes.
The A&M-founded service is
based on Eductional Psychology
105, the world of work. The idea
originally was proposed to Dr.
John C. Calhoun Jr., vice presi
dent for academic affairs, by
Kerley and Roach.
Participating students can get
an hour of credit from the con
ference.
“We help the undeclared stu
dent become more aware of him
self,” Thomas explained. “He
becomes more aware of his in
terests, values, abilities, apti
tudes, achievement and poten
tial.”
Evaluative test results are in
terpreted by counselors to match
student interests with abilities.
Counselors work one-on-one in
the process. As broad career out
lines emerge, the student is given
educational and occupational in
formation. Special publications
and a conference with his dean
sharpens the outline.
The third day is devoted to
assembling more information
about the possible field, through
program and library readings
and a required conference with
academic advisors.
A student may go into the com
munity to talk practical aspects
of his choice with a professional.
The final activity is a student-
written statement justifying on
the basis of interests, aptitudes
and achievement why a particular
field was chosen and why others
were eliminated.
Career conference participants
are quartered on campus in
groups, “in which we have found
a lot of interaction,” the director
said. Students get the counselor’s
home phone number for night
calls. Campus tours are
worked into the schedule.
Counselors in the program
Leslie Thorn, Beth Maxwi
Cynthia Crozie, Judy McCom
and Tom Haygood. All
master’s degrees and have a
riety of experience. Thorn, Mu
well and Haygood are Pkl
candidates.
The service is a more sopki
ticated, broader-based version i
a program once carried outl<^
A&M’s Basic Division.
“The undecided student 1*
been shown to be generally m»

Thomas comented. “He just m
